Time flies and MG members hosted a fun CNY gathering to usher in the Year of the Ox and of course to say goodbye to the "Mickey Mouse" or so called "Year of the Rat"!!
The dinner was supposed to start at 7.00p.m but those early birds waited... waited... and waited hungrily in the room. (You know lar... Chinese culture mah.) Well, looking at the watch and it was already 7.40pm. Somebody questioned, "When are we gonna have our dinner?" It was obvious that the VIP was not there yet! Arrrhhaa... who else? Andrew Kong, the proud father of Joshua & Jayden of course!
"Ring... ring...." Joanne picked up her handphone and it was HIM... He was nearby. At last the dinner could be served. Yeah! It started off with a toast to prosperity with a yee sang dish at our favorable restaurant, Hooi Long followed by "seven-course" dinner. Andrew brought a few good wines. Ops! Do not ask me the name of the wines. Whatever in my mind has been summarised as below:-
1) Rose (read as "rozer" but Vienna called it as "open stomach" wine)
2) Riestling *white wine*
3) "Osh Lase" (Not sure of the spelling) *white wine* - with the taste of lemon, mineral and efferverscent
4) Shiraz *red wine*
5) Dessert wine - the most favourable to me and JiaEe! Great!
But but but... something went wrong. Oh Gosh! HP bought the wrong cakes again!!! This was the 2nd time she made the same mistake. Huh! No wonder she left early before eating the cake?!?!
The night ended on a high note where Andrew Kong distributing red packets to those yet to get married... hehehe... with the message "you guys are growing and it should be the last time to collect red packet in future CNY"
Familiar faces at the dinner were Kim, Andy, PY, Andrew, Foong, Joanne, HP, Vienna, BF, JE, Teo, Thressa and PuiPui. We wish everyone here a Happy & Prosperous Chinese New Year!
